THE WON INSTITUTE

What Makes Us Different

We pride ourselves on our diverse faculty, many of whom are also professional practitioners, business owners, and meditation practitioners. This gives them a vast amount of knowledge to share with students. Small class sizes allow for a personalized learning environment where faculty and students have the chance to connect on a personal level.

Along with our Master’s Degree and certificate programs, we also have a fully staffed faculty and student acupuncture clinic that sees patients throughout the week, a well-established library and a variety of events including guest speakers, tai chi and yoga classes and CE events for therapists and acupuncturists. All of this truly makes the Won Institute a one of a kind learning environment and a great place to go to school.
